January 2004 - Visa Revalidation Tracking

chulchi · Apr 8, 2004

If it gets rejected with form 221(g) and it says you have to submit additional documention:

You don't have to go through the queue again. It takes a week to couple of weeks to get it approved and be back with us.

You can see other postings on this forun about 221(g) and its follow-up.

I had another rejection last year because the comprehensive letter was addressed to "To Whom It May Concern" instead of "Visa Office/Department of State". It took just 10 days to be back.

I have already resent my documents again with U.S.address/phone in item#15/16. I will keep you posted of its progress.

Atleast processing is speedening up from 120days to just about 75 days. I hope mine gets approved this time around AND yours' get approved overlooking address-info!

Bash how did you get the status

Bash,

How did you get the status of your visa revalidation

BaSh · Apr 13, 2004

I called DC office (1-202-663-1225 x 1 x 0) and told them as I submitted my revalidation application in January. till I did not get my passport.

The rep. asked my passport # and she told my visa is issued and it is in Print. it takes one more week. If I did not receive then she asked me to give a call again next week.

She told as soon as passport stampped they will not keep any passport. asked me the return airbill for the mail. I told her I used UPS. She asked me to check UPS track for the current status of despatch.

Approved and in Q for printing

Guys, Just called was informed my H1_B was approved and is in Q for printing

BaSh · Apr 16, 2004

Today I called DC office, the rep. telling there is lot of passports in printing Q, so we have to wait more time to get the passports....

BaSh

BaSh · Apr 20, 2004

I tried till the rep. telling the same thing. Its almost 20days for stamping the passport.

We don't have any track where our passport, which stage it is ?

Stupid people, they eat our moneys and they don't do what we want. We never know when you are going to get our passports which is very important to us. It is least bothers them.

I am sick of wait with USCIS (Immigration Process) and Visa Revalidation process. Lots of burocracy, no one know whats happening behind the closed doors.

It is very much frustrating for every one....
